Can I re-download videos from 3 years ago?

A laptop I had awhile back crashed and I had a ton of purchased tv show episodes on it. Is there a way to get them back even after these years?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
You can redownload some content.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

Can no longer download videos from my digital camera to iPhoto.

OK people, please help me! I've been a Mac user for a couple of years now but still have no idea how to use it properly!! (having been a PC user all my life). Today I changed the quality on my digital camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ7) to be the lowest quality so I could fit more on my SD card, not feeling the need to read the instructions first. When I came to download to iPhoto, it wouldn't. So resorting to reading my camera instruction book, I needed to download some software that came with the camera which I did. But when I still couldn't download the videos using this software, I read the instruction book more thoroughly and discovered that the software I needed (PhotofunStudio) wasn't compatible with a Mac (PC only) and the software I had downloaded (Arcsoft Panorama maker and Arcsoft MediaImpression) obviously wasn't what I needed. When neither of these would download the video, I deleted the software from my iMac but when I opened iPhoto, it gave me some error messages about files not able to be read (or something similar, I can't quite remember) and a list of file names to which I clicked OK not even thinking about it. What that did was delete all videos from iPhoto I had downloaded from this camera! And now I can't download any videos from my camera to iPhoto!!! The only thing I can think is that it has changed the default download/view to be Arcsoft (even though I've deleted all the files - I think!!) So please, how do I get iPhoto to again download my videos? Sorry for the long winded post but because I am a hopeless Mac user, thought I would give as much info as possible!
I'm computer literate with PC but definitely not Mac - it scares me as I don't know what I am doing plus it is my OWN machine so don't want to stuff it up (which is exactly what I seem to have done!). I had no trouble previously downloading videos on the higher quality setting to iPhoto. Please can someone help?!

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Problems with downloading videos from the internet....please help

sorry if this the wrong forum to post but I don't know where else to post my issue.
Normally when I download videos from the internet I click on "window" then "activity" then the largest file ie ? of ? (which is the MB file) and it downloads then I use isquint to put it to mp4 format. However now when I do that the file I download says that "video _ts folders can't be directly converted" and there is a button that says "Inadequacy". I can't even download videos from youtube. Any help would be great.
thank you

Other than the videos on YouTube, can you post a link or URL of the videos you having problems with for us to test out for you?
I use Firefox which has quite a few video converter add ons that allows downloads of any type of video from the net. The one I use is called +Flash Video Downloader.+
"Is there anything else I need to have installed in order to be able to download videos?"
The latest versions of the following:
QuickTime
RealPlayer
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
"I also have divx and 3ivx installed"
You can get rid of those if you have any of the above installed.
" Mac OS X (10.5.2)"
Use Software Update to update your OS which is seriously out of date. The last version of Leopard I believe was either v5.6 or v5.8. Also, update all the other things listed that pertain to the OS & your model computer if applicable to your needs.

Need help with conversion progrma for MTS video files. Can't download videos from Sony TX-10 camera

Have new macbook pro 13". Can't download videos from our Sony TX-10 camera. I understand I need some kind of conversion program for MTS video files. Need recommendation for a good conversion program to convert the video files.
Thanks, chieftd

Well, sigh, that's not going to work.
I love how I can do months of research to choose the best camera for my needs and budget, which is NO easy task these days, but surprisingly find it on the unsupported list when it's a very popular camera. So, while it seems to support a whole bunch of other AVCHD options from Sony, not the NEX cameras.
The NEX cameras are the latest generation of mirrorless cameras (which, ironically, are great b/c they give dSLR quality still images while actually producing HD video that always records silently and stays in focus b/c it's mirrorless). The NEX 7 was just reviewed as Camera of the Year.
Bleh. Oh well. Maybe someday.
And, for anyone reading, Roxio Toast Titanium did convert it just fine but it took about 20 min or my time to set up a handful of clips and then a couple hours to complete converting them for the quality I was looking for. One was about 10 minutes of a kids' performance on Christmas and it took a long time. It's just not feasible given how many video clips I do with the camera a week - well, feasible when you consider all the cameras where this would be seamless.
Thanks for posting your reply - I appreciate it.

How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
- What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

Some videos will allow downloading.
I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.

Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?

Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?

Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

this says it all..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

Can I download video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2

can I download video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2?

This what I've tried so far:
Downloaded photos from the iPhone to the computer. Videos and photos transferred without problem.
Plugged in the iPod Touch (2) and all photos synced just fine, but no video appeared.
While the iPod was connected I looked In the menu bar of iPhoto, when I chose movies, none were listed.
I cannot find an item listed in the settings menues that seem relevant.
I have emailed the movies successfully from the iPhone 4s.

How can I download video from Canon HF20?

Please help me. I just need to download video from my new Canon HF20 to my computer. I hear you can use imovie 08 but how?

I have a Canon HF11, but I imagine the problem is similar. I'm working with iMovie '08 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 3 GB of RAM. I normally import from an old Sony TVR530 (flawlessly).
This is apparently the deal with iMovie '08 and Mpeg-2 Camcorders... Apple stinks at working with them (at least for my setup).
The files are .MOD, which is just Mpeg-2; no problem. You connect the camera and it auto-recognizes the FS11 (in my case), but doesn't begin import. You select a manual "movie import" and it says there are no files to import (there were 187 files in the folder). Very frustrating.
BUT! It will recognize the movies EVENTUALLY. Yes, it's true. Just connect the camera and wait a good 10 - 15 minutes and it will finally come up with the import clip window. Not that you're in a hurry or anything. THEN, to rub salt in that wound, it takes minutes to import seconds of video. I have a 14 second clip that took 3 minutes to import. FOURTEEN SECONDS! All these little basketball game clips are going to take an HOUR to import (according to the application).
My first pass resulted in an import of about 21 clips before iMovie crashed. I'm trying again now and HOPING the imported video will not show degradation when it's all done. I'll let you know.
(I'm still mad that my wife's PowerBook 1.5 GHz cannot play a simple YouTube video without looking like a 10 fps flipbook animation. GET IT TOGETHER APPLE! You're supposed to be the multimedia guys!)

Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

Just download, install, and activate using your serial number. You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines. If you do not wish to retain the original installation as a backup you can deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
Here is a general link for where you can find download links...
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
If you would like a more direct link you will need to name the software and the version.
If you need your serial number you should be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you first installed it.
